Hey Sandyman,
I think Reagan should have apologized to Gren., Nic., etc. I also think G.W. should apologize to the world. B. Clinton should apologize to East Timor, among others. I am not singling out Carter because he is a particularly bad guy; in fact, compared to most U.S. presidents, I think he is a relatively good guy. So I expect more from him. And even though I agree with his criticism of G.W., the Christian Right, and Israel policies, I think his criticisms would be more effective if he prefaced them with a statement like "Look I made some terrible mistakes in my time, mistakes that I can never fully compensate for. Here is what I learned from some of them." Instead, he, like all of our other arrogant ex-presidents, seems to think that self-righteousness is the way to go. I have never been influenced by an arrogant, self-righteous opponent who seems to mock me and I rarely see others influenced by such people. Also, the victims deserve at least this.
